Violence
in Srinagar, one killed in CRPF firing

Srinagar:
Violence broke out in the old city as an agitated mob tried to set
on fire a mobile bunker of CRPF in Noorbagh locality, prompting the
paramilitary force personnel to open fire, resulting in the death of
one youth and injuries to four others.
"The CRPF personnel had to open fire when a mob tried to set on fire
the mobile bunker of 161 battalion in which four personnel of the
force were sitting", CRPF Spokesman Prabhakar Tripathy said.
He said the personnel were under standing orders to exercise
restraint as they were expecting violence and stone pelting
following the death of one Mohammad Rafiq Bangroo last night.
Bangroo (25) was injured when CRPF personnel allegedly beat him up
on June 12 during a clash between stone pelters and police at
Danamazar locality of the old city.
"The CRPF personnel did not retaliate even after the bunker was
rained by stones from all the four corners. It was only when the mob
tried to set the bunker on fire, that the personnel opened fire to
save four of its jawans who were inside the bunker", Tripathy said.
Five persons were injured in the firing and were rushed to a
hospital where one of them identified as Javid Ahmad Malla
succumbed, police said.
The trouble started when people returning after Bangroo's burial in
a graveyard attacked the mobile bunker with stones, the police said.
Sensing trouble after Bangroo's death, authorities had imposed
restriction on the movement of people in the old city this morning.
Despite the tight security arrangements, residents held protest
demonstrations as Bangroo's body reached Safakadal, demanding action
against the officials who allegedly beat him up.
They insisted that his body be allowed to be taken to Eidgah martyrs
graveyard, which was not allowed by the authorities.
They buried the body at a graveyard in Noorbagh. The protesters also
raised slogans against the administration.
Protests and stone pelting intensified in the area after the body of
Malla was handed over to the next of kin, the sources said, adding
the mourners carrying the body of Malla for burial in Eidgah clashed
with police and para-military forces at several places en route.
However, there was no report of any casualty, the sources said.
Residents of the old city especially in the areas falling under four
police stations of Safakadal, Nowhatta, Khanyar and Rainawari
claimed that police vans fitted with public address system announced
imposition of curfew and asked people not to venture out.
However, police maintained that prohibitory orders have been imposed
in the old city areas as a precautionary measure.
As the news of death of Bangroo and Malla reached in civil line
areas, people took to streets and shopkeepers pulled their shutters,
they said.
The authorities have deployed hundreds of police and para-military
forces personnel in the city to maintain law and order and implement
the restrictions on the movement of the people, they said.
